Gene Fusions in Pediatric Sarcomas (R21)
Funding Opportunity PA-16-252 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The overall goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage research grant applications to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which oncogenic fusion genes and their gene products contribute to pediatric sarcoma initiation, progression, and metastasis. Better understanding of the molecular pathways activated by chromosomal translocations in pediatric sarcomas, and their relationship to oncogenesis and tumor progression, can elucidate mechanisms of cancer pathogenesis and potentially lead to novel therapeutics.

Discovery of the Genetic Basis of Structural Birth Defects and of Childhood Cancers: Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (X01)
Funding Opportunity PAR-15-259 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIH invites applications to use whole genome sequencing at an NHGRI-supported sequencing center to investigate the genetic etiology of structural birth defects, and to further elucidate the genetic contribution to childhood cancers and the genomic contributions to treatment failure for childhood sarcomas.These data will become part of a data resource for the pediatric research community. Information from this activity will be used to help design future activities of the Gabriella Miller Kids First (Kids First) Pediatric Research Program. ...

Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO Advanced Clinical Research Award in Breast Cancer Opportunity
The Advanced Clinical Research Award (ACRA) is a topic-specific competition designed to fund investigators who are committed to clinical cancer research. Past topics have included breast cancer, colorectal cancer, hematological malignancies, lung cancer, and sarcoma. This research must have a patient-oriented focus, including a clinical research study and/or translational research involving human subjects. Proposals with a predominant focus on in vitro or animal studies (even if clinically relevant) are not allowed. The ACRA is a three-year cancer research grant totaling $450,000, paid in three annual increments o...
